Magento

I am sure this probably simple, but I am unsure why I just can’t figure it out.

I have tried Custom Options: Out come was that every time you choose a size it zeroed out the price automatically. The correct price up in the shopping cart, but on the product page when you select a size the price changes to 0.00

I have tried Adding a Attribute (I could be doing this wrong for sizes): The attribute shows up on the backend, which makes me select a size for every shirt. Pointless. I want this to only show up on the site. I shouldn’t be choosing a size for a shirt, because then the buyer can not pick the size.

Hello,

Concerning that statement. I guess that must be you set some special setting for option or set price mark-up.
What I can offer you to do. Try to delete this product with which you have issues. Next create one test simple product manually and add to it a couple of sizes and check if the issue remains.
The situation you face is the not correct, since the price of custom options should be added to general product price.

If I understood you correctly, you have created attribute with drop-down type. It is used as drop-down with selection mainly for configurable products. In you use this attribute with simple product, you can select only one of options (it won’t be drop-down at the front-end).  Here is the article on configurable products for you to get the idea -

P.S. Configurable products make sense in case you need to track inventory of sizes. Otherwise it will take too much time and efforts to use them.

Fixed:

“Rename : app/design/frontend/[TEMPLATE]/catalog/products/view/options.phtml into options1.phtml( or just deleted) so magneto will lock for options.phtml in base folder.

That work for me!  Magento ver. 1.7.0.1”
